Further Bounty: $50 (usd) for the first recording to exceed 177,700 points and $100 (usd) for the first recording to exceed 210,750 points before January 1, 2006. (added 7/11/05 courtesy of forum member "lippsman"){7/14/05 - $50 bounty claimed by Ace13}{7/18/05 - $100 bounty claimed by destructor@HotTeam.pl}

Wanted to do a sports game for a change.

Never had tried this one before. Not bad for a 1983 football game.

I'm very disappointed I didn't get any better at this. The first day I played seriously I got to the "pro" team, but the more I played, the better the defense got. I never kept my recordings because I thought for sure I'd do better, but I never did.

And the one high ranked recording I watched looks like he's playing a different difficulty or something. He'd throw the ball right between two defenders who would just stand there looking stupid - like they didn't want to intercept the ball. When I play, I can be all alone on the sideline with a receiver alone downfield and while i'm throwing to him, a defender races over from the middle of the field to intercept a ball he had no chance at. Or some guy on the line will break his block and run down the line in front of my quarterback and pick the ball off from the line of scrimmage! Bullshit.

Use WolfMAME .97

"On Deck" game: SFX

Tough to beat.

Going to be tough for me to be my prior score. But I would love to see that top score gone.

Weehawk, on the late stages timing is everything on those side pases. And if you have a strong defensive formation, just get tackled as fast as possible.

Oh yeah. I know what you mean about the recording. I've thought the same thing. But it was verified. So............

MARP member "Louie" ("lippsman" on this forum), who previously held the #3 score on this title has offered to fund further bounties for exceeding his own score of 177,700 and the top MARP score of 210,750 held by Tech-D.

The original announcement has been edited with the further bounties.

Louie has deleted his previous recording so he can play along this week, of course to be eligible for my monetary prize he will have to exceed his own previous score.

His WolfMAME .78 recording is still available for those wishing to watch it here:

Thanks, Louie!

One question, if Louie beats his own record (or Tech-D's), is the bounty still available? To clarify for my further bounties that are currently active (Mario Bros. and Time Pilot), the bounties are still active even if I beat the bounty scores first.

I would have assumed the same for Louie, but if he wants to make it clear otherwise, that is fine.

You assume correctly Weehawk. But not much to worry about with 10-yard fight. I have bigger fish to fry. Like trying to play Anteater better!!!
